I have not chosen a name for mine yet. | ||

I don't tend to name inanimate objects. For purposes of clarification, a boat is NOT an inanimate object... "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

I have never named a gun. I might name a boat, but I might not. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

It’s a tool, not a kid or pet. "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

Unlike the scene in Full Metal Jacket, we weren't required to name our rifle in OCS. Like others, I've never named a gun. Never named an airplane either. Icarus flew too close to the sun, but at least he flew. | |||

None of my guns have names. I don't see any reason for it. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

Also never named any of my guns. Had a few that were POS and one SW 629 that would clear out an indoor range. | |||

I tend to call them by manufacturer, model number, and caliber. Sometimes I skip the manufacturer if it would be common knowledge. For example, Model 700 in 7mm REM Mag. I might abbreviate even further as in referring to my Interarms Mark X in 243 Rock Chucker as simply the Rock Chucker. | |||

This ^^^^^ Nor do I name my... uh... body parts  I do refer to my Remington 700PSS as "Big Ugly Gun," because that's what my wife Christened it, and my AR as my "Evil Black Rifle," though.

Yup. I let the manufacturer name mine. I will say I once met an armed security guard that named her duty revolver Roscoe. I've known aircraft and boat owners that either kept the names already given to their new purchases, or named them after a rebuild. I will admit that I have a pet name for two of my vehicles, one based on a personalized license plate the previous owner had creatively come up with for this off-road project truck, and the other I came up with based on a funny story for car that my Dad used to own and left to me after his death. I don't much like the car... and yet it really isn't a bad car, fairly reliable and fuel efficient...but I mostly drive it because it reminds me of my Dad, and refer to it by its funny pet name because of the condition I received it in. | |||

Only object of this general class to get named was my Corvette canary yellow painted 1973 Dodge Challenger. Gal at work dubbed it the "Yellow banana!" None of my weapons have nicknames.
